Abstract
Tangehakhori area in Firouzkouh township at the suburb of Tehran province. The purpose of this study was determination of Ovis orientalis habitat suitability and its relation to vegetation dispersion in haunt-forbidden Kaveh Deh area in fall 2015, using investment plant to recognize Past plant species, and using plant biodiversity indices’ determination software. Ovis orientalis habitat suitability was determined using ranking of HSI habitat variables and habitat HEP model. 9 habitat variables included: vegetation, direction, slope, distance from road, distance from habitat, distance from agricultural land, distance from watering place (trough) and haunters’ attendance. 11 species in September, 9 in October and 9 in November and Decembe were recognized Shannon diversity index in 3 fall months were 2.013, 882, 1.2, Margalef species richness were 2.153, 1.954, 2.288, Menhinick species richness were 1.079, 1.162, 1.567 and Simpson species diversity were 0.8232, 0.8411, 0.8154, respectively. According to well-achieved scores of HEP method, Kaveh Deh habitat area was ranked as good (0.67) in fall 2015.
